Worried about getting locked out of your system?

Gone are the days when you only had to be wary of opening and downloading attachments from unknown senders. Now all your users have to do is visit a compromised, infected website. A file, usually an .exe, is automatically downloaded to the computer. Next thing you know, your data is encrypted and is no longer accessible.

What is worse, hackers then hold "the key" ransom to unlocking your data. And even if you pay, who is to say that they will actually give you access? This "virtual key" can cost you an absurd amount of money and let's be honest, your data is priceless.

It's time to control your download permissions.

ComputerWeekly.com recently reported that ransomware attacks now account for nearly a quarter of cyber threats targeting internet users in the UK,  according to security firm Eset. That means you need to act now to make sure you and your data don't fall victim to ransom trojans, such as CryptoLocker, CryptoWall, or Cryptorbit.

With Tricerat's Simplify Lockdown (a component of Simplify Suite®), you have the ability to:
  • Control what applications and executables can run,
  • Control the location from where they can run,
  • Permit/Deny an application from automatically spawning a secondary process,
  • Control if an executable runs after it has been updated.
By configuring simple hashes and algorithms, you no longer need to worry about the dangers of ransomware to your data.
